With Aruba APs, at least, you have the option to turn off the AP lights. We have a couple of areas with that setup. We occasionally turn the lights back on for troubleshooting purposes.

Some researchers on the medical campus have also inquired about the effects of APs in their vicinity, but have not formally requested no installation or removal yet, so I think it is potentially a problem depending on the requirements of any particular research area. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Julian Y Koh Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 5:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] RF interference from 802.11 Has anyone had to deal with researchers claiming that 802.11 RF causes interference with their laboratory experiments and apparatus? We're getting rumblings out of our Physics department - they are trying to prevent APs from getting installed in their area because of what they say are highly sensitive devices that will be adversely affected. My personal opinion is....well, I'll withhold that for now. Anyone gone through this? Thanks in advance! -- Julian Y.
